How to make local apps and services externally available

I’ve written a new guide that may be helpful to those that have a background app or service running on their server and want to make the UI externally available.

This came from a question we’ve received about how to make the Bull board (for Adonis) available to be viewable externally. Bull is a queue management service that has a UI that is accessible on Port 9999. There are ways to make this, and similar apps running locally on your server, accessible programmatically within the base application. However, I wanted to provide this as another option that may be easier to get up and running.

This method can also be used for other similar services that run locally on a server.

I hope you all find it useful!
